Jeanette Rajamaki
Our next meeting will be on January 12 in the Saguaro Room of Cottonwood Country Club with guest speaker from Oceania Cruises Susan Mullen, Regional Sales Manager.
What’s new, what’s changing – How you can earn a free stateroom – changes to the O Life Program. Also, Vic Herman will address global entry so you can have pre-check at the airport and bypass passport control when re-entering the country.
We will also have a brief discussion on Amtrak Vacations – there is lots of interest in train travel these days.
Everyone is welcome to join us for information, refreshments, lots of brochures and door prizes. No dues
